[VisCom] Presentation material

[Dave McIlhagga]

Hi Arnulf,

I have a lot of historical slides/info on open source geospatial (as I'm 
sure many of us here do) that I'd be happy to contribute towards forming 
some standard slides on OSGeo.

As I think I mentioned on IRC -- I have had a number of requests to 
speak to groups about the new Foundation so I'm certain that I will be 
diving into this quickly.

Re. Venka's suggestion about a brochure -- this too is important, as I 
believe we will find that the best form of outreach will be through the 
organizations and companies who participate in and use open source 
technologies. As soon as a solid brochure is available -- these can be 
distributed (or printed for that matter) by these organizations in 
advance of conference exhibitions, etc.. for distribution at their 
booths, presentations, and so on.

I'm on the road this week (west coast for Location intelligence) -- but 
I can try to skype in for a meeting - no promises on availability 
though. The following week will definitely work though.

I'll try to capture some of my thoughts/ideas in the Wiki for various PR 
activities that I think should be priority when I have a few minutes 
over the next week.

Dave
